A man in Singapore was recently sentenced to jail after he pleaded to causing grievous hurt to a man he had sex with.
According to The Straits Times (ST), court documents showed that Richard M. Azhar, along with Shakur Han Bin Shaid, had assaulted the 44-year-old victim between 12:10am and 12:30am on Feb 4 along Geylang Lorong 21.
Had oral sex with man at back alley
Prosecutors told the court that Azhar and Shakur met the victim, who agreed to perform oral sex on them for S$50 (approx. RM163) each at a back alley.
After the act was completed, Azhar told the victim that he didn’t have money to pay for the sexual service he had just received and snatched the victim’s bag.
Hit victim’s face with brick
When the victim tried to grab his bag back, Azhar landed a few punches to his face, which sent him sprawling to the ground.
While the victim was still on the ground, Shakur allegedly punched and kicked him. Azhar then snatched the bag away from the victim and it tore apart, causing its contents to scatter all over.
A brick weighing almost 2kg was picked up by Azhar, which was first used by Shakur to hit the victim before Azhar joined suit.
The duo then took the victim’s mobile phone, identification card and $40 (approx. RM130) before fleeing the scene.
Azhar also photographed the victim’s identification card as he intended to use it to borrow money from loan sharks.
Left with multiple injuries
The victim was found unconscious while lying in his own blood and taken to Changi General Hospital for treatment.
He was later found to have suffered serious injuries, including extensive facial bone fractures and a skull fracture, and had to undergo multiple surgical procedures.
He also suffered injuries to the muscles in both legs and had to undergo regular physiotherapy and occupational therapy sessions.
Jailed for 4½ years, caned 12 times
On Feb 4, Azhar was arrested and charged with causing grievous hurt on Sept 29, which he pleaded guilty to.
The court sentenced him to 4½ years in jail and 12 cane strokes.
As for Shakur, his case is still before the courts.
